Gender as a data structure
Critical data studies have shown that mainstream data representations of gender identity misrepresent or erase queer experiences. On the one hand, categorical approaches fail to capture the complexity of genderqueerness. On the other hand, psychometric femininity and masculinity scales offer greater nuance and precision. Yet, they reduce gender to numeric scores, neglecting how people express their identity through words. To tackle this gap, our …
What is robot abuse? A sociotechnical definition
Robot abuse encompasses a range of actions enacted by users against robots that resemble aggressive actions enacted by humans against each other. Research in this area faces numerous challenges due to ethical concerns and methodological limitations. Despite preliminary indications of robot abuse, most people are still not personally familiar with robots but hold collective imaginaries promoted by science fiction. Little is known about how abuse w…
“There is a better you in you”
Self-tracking describes capturing and analysing the body and life using digital technologies. Its popularity is propelled by the widespread availability of enabling technologies like smartwatches or fitness-trackers. However, given the broad consensus on the co-productive relationship between technologies and social realities, reducing this phenomenon to technological feasibility alone would be inappropriate. This paper explores self-tracking by …
Who Cares About Data? Ambivalence, Translation, and Attentiveness in Asylum Casework
Scholars across Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW) increasingly focus on the topic of care when investigating data-driven technologies in contexts of re-humanizing technology design and usage. Previous studies have shown how care work eludes complex bureaucratic systems shaped by data, digitalization, and a restrictive political agenda. This research aims to understand how asylum stakeholders enact care as an aspect of asylum casework, wh…
Designing Digital Participatory Budgeting Platforms
Civic technologies have the potential to support participation and influence decision-making in governmental processes. Digital participatory budgeting platforms are examples of civic technologies designed to support citizens in making proposals and allocating budgets. Investigating the empirical case of urban biking activists in Madrid, we explore how the design of the digital platform Decide Madrid impacted the collaborative practices involved …
Te ha tocado? El sorteo llega a la política de Madrid
In early 2019 Madrid launched the first permanent citizen participation scheme in which members are chosen by lot: the Observatory of the City. Although the scheme was abandoned by the new government after the May 2019 elections, the Madrid experiment raises important questions about democracy. The project is another example of the growing prominence that the draw has acquired in many countries, as an ideal element to organise and order the parti…
Makerspaces on Social Media
Open Design is an emerging area of research that seeks to connect and extend the culture of making, social innovation, open-source software, and open-source hardware. A cornerstone for Open Design is to broaden participation in technology innovation by allowing people to use and contribute to publicly shared resources. Makerspaces are important access points to share and contribute to these resources. However, prior to entering the physical door …
